About G90.51
G90.51 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for complex regional pain syndrome I of upper limb. It belongs to category G90 (disorders of autonomic nervous system), block G89-G99 (other disorders of the nervous system) and chapter 6 (diseases of the nervous system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: G90.511 (limb), G90.512 (limb), G90.513 (bilateral) and G90.519 (limb).
